Chapter 111: The Tiger Who Suffers from Dense Phobia
In an unnamed valley in the middle of the Giant Wolf Forest, Oz and Matabelle are rounding up the Rat King that Wei Siyuan needs.
"Stupid tiger, dig quickly, when the rat king slips away, the master will not spare you!" Matabelle urged Oz not far away.
"Stinky ant, you are a personal vendetta, there are so many ants that you don't need me to dig a hole to catch a mouse! Have you ever seen a tiger catch a mouse?" Oz kept turning his head to look at the leisurely Matabelle while digging the hole with his front paws, and the roots of his teeth itched with hatred. There was no way, Wei Siyuan asked him to listen to Matabelle, he only listened, and he couldn't beat it.
"Of course you are! Hurry up and dig, don't worry, you're only responsible for attracting rats, and I'll deal with them when they come out later, and I won't scare you!" the tentacles on the top of Matabelle's head trembled, and he didn't know if it was smug or just a normal swing.
"Who is afraid of rats, can't you just let those ants come out and dig them? I have only dug a hole for half a day, and I have not even seen the mouse hair. Besides, I'm the Tiger King, and the rats can't hide when they see me, how can I attract rats!" Oz grumbled as he digged.
"Dig for you, dig for that, so much nonsense!" continued Matabelle urged. Of course, she didn't expect Oz to really dig up the rats, but she just used Wei Siyuan's order to punish and punish Oz, so that Oz's memory increased.
The rat king had been discovered by accident when Matabelle was passing by earlier, and when he first spotted it, the rat was lazily basking in the sun, surrounded by dozens of rats. When Matabel led the marching ant army to approach, the rat's ears were erected, and the first thing he did was not to guard or demonstrate, but to lead the dozens of guards to quickly slip away, which surprised Matabelle for a while, and he deeply remembered the spirit of the rat king. This time, on the surface, it looked like Oz was digging a hole, but in fact it was just a feint attack by the queen ant, and the real killer was his own 600,000 marching ants. At this moment, her army of marching ants is scattered in the valley to explore the rat holes, vigilant for the rat king's escape.
I don't know how long it has been digging, but the tiger Oz has dug a hole nearly 10 meters deep. It is said to be a hole, but in fact it is more like a large cone-shaped pit, there is no way, the tiger's claws are too thick after all, and they can't do the fine work of digging holes.
"Stinky ant, okay, no!, dig hole, dig hole, I've been digging for so long, I should be fine!" Seeing that his tiger claws were already a little dull, Oz finally got impatient.
"If you want to dig it, dig it, why is there so much nonsense!"
"You're almost done, it's my fault in the matter of Snake Valley, but I also admit my mistake! Obediently digging a hole for so long, it's already very face-saving for you! If you announce a personal vendetta like this, it's a big deal that I'll be beaten up by my master......
"It's coming!" Matabelle said.
"What's coming!" Oz stood in the cave and looked at the queen, his face confused.
"Squeak—"
A sudden rat cry came from under Oz, and I saw dozens of large holes with a diameter of more than 2 feet suddenly emerging from the bottom of the hole that was originally stepped on by Oz, and rats with a head and tail length of seventy or eighty centimeters came out of the hole.
"That's a lot of mice!" Oz was surprised, seeing so many rats scurrying around his feet, his dense phobia reversed, and he jumped out of the big hole he had dug decisively.
"Sure enough, I forced it out!" said Matabelle, as he stared at the rats pouring out of the hole.
These rats are only covered in dark gray scales and have sparse coarse hairs. The tail is conical, there are two pairs of orange-yellow front teeth exposed outside the lips, the head is generally fat, the eyes are small and the ears are round, the limbs are thick and short, the forelimbs are slightly shorter than the hind limbs, and there is no webbing between the toes; the toes are bright and hairless, and the hind paws can actually support the body to stand.
Looking at more and more rats, Oz couldn't sit still, "Matabelle! you see that the rats are all out, hurry up and catch the rat king, and I will extinguish all the rats with a mouthful of flames." This rat looks too penetrating, dense, and not a good thing at first glance!"
"What's the hurry, the Rat King has seen it, but he hasn't come out yet!" Matabelle glanced at Oz, "I didn't expect that you, a tiger, were still afraid of mice!"
"I'm not afraid, but I just want these dirty things to disappear from my eyes as soon as possible. Oz said with his neck stretched out in a weak manner.
As Oz and Matabelle exchanged words, dozens of rat guards larger than ordinary rats squeezed out of the hole, and behind them, an even larger rat followed.
"Rat King!" Oz stared at the big rat, the rat king he had been doing for so long. Compared to ordinary rats, this rat king is even larger, the fat body is covered in purer dark gray scales, and two pairs of brass-colored front teeth are pointed, like two sharp daggers, one of which can make people feel the threat of being pierced.
"Matabelle, how did you get this thing out?" asked Oz with some curiosity as he looked at the pit full of rats that were even running away.
"Because the rats are timid!" said Matabelle, and there was another rustling on the ground, and the timid rats seemed to know what was about to come out, and the whole rat pit exploded, and they began to avoid their feet, some of them expanding in size, and some of them ran out, trying to escape from here. And the Rat King is no exception, with the advantage of being more physically powerful, it took the lead and jumped out of the rat pit first.
"Oz, roar!" said Matabelle.
"Okay, uh-" A tiger roar that shocked the mountains and forests jumped out of Oz's mouth. Suddenly, within a radius of one kilometer, the tiger was surging and powerful, no matter the birds and beasts, Gu was in a trance by the sound of the tiger roaring of Oz, and the group of rats that were closer collapsed to the ground in pieces, unable to move.
"Good!" Seeing this stance, Matabelle couldn't help but cheer for Oz. She never thought that such a cowardly Oz would have such a side-eyed performance for the emperor.
"Rustle, rustle—"
The shaking ground of the rat pit finally saw a new creature emerge once again - marching ants. Tens of thousands of marching ants emerged from the soil, wrapping the rats that had been stunned by Oz, especially the rat king and the rat king's guards, who were wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, for fear that these rats would wake up and slip away.
"Ant, so many ants!Matabelle—" Oz saw that the rat pit was wrapped in denser ants, and his scalp suddenly tingled, and he hurriedly called out to Matabelle.
It was too late, it was too soon, and Matabelle seemed to be about to say something, when a black vortex suddenly opened from under Matabelle, and Matabelle suddenly fell from the vortex.
"Matabelle! Stinky Ant—" Oz pounced, but was a step too slow, and the whirlpool closed after Matabelle left, and Oz pounced.
"What the hell is this! so weird, and so many ants!" Oz swallowed. As a tiger with a phobia of intensity, usually Oz can solve everything with a single flame, but this time it doesn't, the Rat King is still wrapped in ants, and he is afraid of hurting the Rat King.
"Damn, what should I do?" staring at the dense swarm of ants occupying the rat pit, Oz didn't have the slightest temper.
